Developer Annoyance #1

[Mark Smith]

I may be misunderstanding the problem, but is it really a message  
passing problem?

This, in a buttons script will fail:

on mouseUp
   put "1+2" into n1
   put "2+2" into n2
   calc n1,n2
   put the result
end mouseUp

on calc n1,n2
   return n1 + n2
end calc

So if you pass quoted expressions to a handler as parameters, they  
don't get evaluated in the handler unless you evaluate them yourself:

on calc n1,n2
   return value(n1) + value(n2)
end calc
